Immortal Mansion: With mediocre qualifications, I have no choice but to live forever

In the Jianming Pond, the spiritual energy was so dense that it could almost condense into mist, and the entire space was filled with a fresh and unworldly atmosphere.

There are already some disciples from Qinjian Villa practicing with their eyes closed in their respective training areas, with peaceful expressions on their faces.

Qing Jimeng pulled Zhou Yiqiao and walked through the disciples who were practicing without looking around, heading straight for the deepest part of the Jianming Pool.

The spiritual energy there is richer, and it is the place where the spiritual energy is most concentrated in the entire Jianming Pond.

Zhou Yiqiao felt the surprised looks from those around him and knew in his heart that Qing Jimeng's move was undoubtedly an announcement of her support for him to the entire villa.

He didn't know why Qing Jimeng did this. He had many questions in his mind and just wanted to seek an explanation from the woman running in front of him.

When the two reached the last floor, Qing Jimeng let go of his hand, and Zhou Yiqiao seemed to see an unusual blush on Qing Jimeng's face.

"Miss, this..."

Zhou Yiqiao was just about to speak out his doubts.

Qing Jimeng seemed to have anticipated his question. She coughed lightly, avoided Zhou Yiqiao's gaze, and said.

"Mr. Zhou, now is not the time to explain."

"Everyone who enters the Jianming Pool only needs three days to practice. If you want to use this place to temper your body, you must hurry up."

She began to change the subject and introduced the method of using Jianmingchi to temper the body.

"The spiritual energy in Jianming Pond is divided into multiple layers, and the spiritual energy becomes denser as you go down."

"You are now on the last floor, which is also the place with the purest spiritual energy."

"Practicing here will have twice the result with half the effort in tempering your body."

Qing Jimeng paused and continued.

"However, although the spiritual energy of the Jianming Pond is good, it is still too violent for direct contact with the flesh."

"You need to use the body-protecting pill to neutralize the impact of the spiritual energy, and at the same time use the body-tempering spiritual materials to achieve the best training effect."

She turned to look at Zhou Yiqiao with a hint of concern in her eyes.

"As for the body-protecting pill, I can personally go find one for you. As for those body-tempering spiritual materials I gave you, do you have them with you now?"

Zhou Yiqiao felt Qing Jimeng's concern, and the doubts in his heart were temporarily suppressed.

He nodded and replied.

"I have been keeping the body-tempering spiritual materials in my storage bag. As for the body-protecting pill, Senior Sister Bi Yao has also given me a Dragon Scale Heart-Protecting Pill. Miss, don't worry."

When Qing Jimeng heard this, the tension on his face instantly dissipated like morning mist, not knowing whether it was because he had made preparations for Zhou Yiqiao or because he had successfully diverted Zhou Yiqiao's attention.

She opened her lips slightly and spoke.

"That's good. You can practice here with peace of mind. I will protect you outside and make sure no one disturbs you."

After saying that, she said no more, turned around and walked out of the last level of the Jianming Pool, leaving Zhou Yiqiao a quiet space so that he could concentrate on his practice.

Zhou Yiqiao looked at Qing Jimeng's departing back. Although he still had many doubts in his mind, he knew that the most important thing now was to seize the opportunity and use the spiritual energy of the Jianming Pool to improve his cultivation.

He took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and then began to follow the instructions given by Senior Sister Bi Yao, took the pill, and prepared to start the body tempering practice.

The medicinal power of the Dragon Scale Heart Protecting Pill slowly spread in Zhou Yiqiao's body. A gentle warm current rose from his dantian and gradually penetrated into his limbs and bones.

Zhou Yiqiao sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began to practice the Tiangang Body Refining Technique.

This technique is famous for tempering the body and strengthening the meridians. Every time you upgrade a level, you can increase the power of the dragon and elephant, which is extremely precious.

However, the path to advancement in martial arts is fraught with difficulties. Even if one is only breaking through from the fourth level to the fifth level, the difficulty is no less than climbing a chasm.

He immersed his mind in the practice of the technique, feeling the spiritual energy in the Sword Pond pouring into his body like a tide, interacting with the internal force of the Tiangang Body Refining Technique.

The spiritual energy flowed through the meridians, constantly washing every corner of the body. Endless pain quickly came over me, as if I was being cut by a thousand knives, excruciatingly painful.

Zhou Yiqiao gritted his teeth and persisted. He knew that this was the critical moment for a breakthrough. The more painful it was, the more he could not give up halfway.

After several hours, Zhou Yiqiao's clothes were soaked in blood, and the entire sword washing pool was filled with a faint smell of blood.

His body was numb from the excruciating pain. Zhou Yiqiao tried his best to concentrate and took out the body-tempering spiritual herbs given by the eldest lady from his storage bag.

Zhou Yiqiao didn't have the energy to care about the varieties of the spiritual herbs and swallowed them all in one gulp.

The spiritual herbs melted in his mouth, transforming into streams of pure spiritual energy, which, together with the spiritual energy in the Sword Ming Pool, attacked him from both inside and outside, constantly tempering his body.

On the first day, Zhou Yiqiao's whole body was soaked in sweat and his muscles twitched from time to time, but the Tiangang Body Refining Art in his body was operating slowly under this extreme state, and every operation made his body tougher.

The next day, Zhou Yiqiao's skin began to crack and blood oozed out, but it was soon repaired by the spiritual energy. This process of destruction and repair is the key to tempering the body in the Tiangang Body Refining Technique.

On the third day, the Tiangang Body Refining Technique in Zhou Yiqiao's body finally reached a critical point.

He could feel that the barrier between the fourth and fifth layers had become extremely weak, and it only needed one last bit of strength to completely break through.

Finally, at midnight on the third day, the Tiangang Body Refining Technique in Zhou Yiqiao's body made a dull roar, like a mountain collapse and the earth splitting.

The barriers in his body were completely broken at this moment, and powerful forces surged out from every cell, gathering into an unstoppable torrent.

This power was like the roar of a dragon and the howl of an elephant, vibrating in every cell of Zhou Yiqiao, instantly strengthening his body like never before.

After reaching the fifth level of Tiangang Body Refining Technique, he clearly felt that an additional layer of dragon-elephant power had been added to his body. This power was so strong that he could hardly control it.

As power exploded, a strong wind suddenly blew up in the Jianming Pool, and the spiritual energy formed a huge vortex, spinning around Zhou Yiqiao. All the spiritual energy in the Jianming Pool gathered towards him at this moment.

This strange phenomenon alarmed all the disciples of Qinjian Villa in the Jianming Pond. They woke up from their training and looked in the direction of Zhou Yiqiao in shock.

"What's going on? Why did the spiritual energy in the Jianming Pond suddenly become so violent?"

A disciple asked in surprise.

"Did someone go wrong with their training? Or..."

Before the other disciple could finish his words, he was shocked by the scene before him.

At the location where Zhou Yiqiao was, in the center of the spiritual energy vortex, powerful auras rose into the sky, forming materialized spiritual power ripples that spread throughout the Jianming Pool.
